There is a limited amount of space in a newspaper, and not every detail of a meeting or event makes it into the final story. As reporters, we use our best judgment to determine which details are most important to our readers.

There were some issues brought up last night that have already been addressed in The Times. I try not to repeat information more than absolutely necessary in order to efficiently use the space available for each story.

Lastly, when I feel that important details have been left out due to space issues, I go back and do followup reporting to ensure that our readers get all of the information they can.
